Finding Good Sources

You’ve been asked to do a research paper on a controversial aspect of the Renaissance. You will have to cite at least ten quality resources in your bibliography. Let’s assume that your group has chosen to investigate the Medici family’s impact on the Renaissance. Write down the title of the first website listed in each set of results as you start you quest for information. Answer the following questions for each search result. Record the first search result returned from this search engine. (Please ignore Wikipedia)





1. Does the web site provide relevant information for your research? Yes/No 2. Who (what organization/authority) created the article?
3. Does the article/website have an author? If so, who?
4. What type of organization (edu, mil, gov, com, org) does the web site belong to?
5. When the web site was last updated? (how current is it?)

Begin building a works cited page for a research paper on your chosen topic. List two article titles you would use in your research. You may use the database or the free web to locate your articles but remember to find articles that have credibility, accuracy, reliability, relevance, come from good sources, and meet your purpose. Write the author’s name, the title of the article, and the web address or database where you located each below.
